    There are many proverbs used in my district.
    One time there was a man telling another man of something he was to do, when the other man went away the second man said "That man would tell you things and he as far away from them as the hill of Howth".
    One time a woman used to tell stories from one friend to another she was said to "Run with the hare and hunt with the hound.
